Need one more infielder here that can man a few positions, so with my 24th round pick, the Wailing Wahoos select
Ronnie Belliard, second basemen.
Career w/ CLE: 2004-2006
Career Stats w/ CLE: .285 BA, .770 OPS, 37 HR, 192 RBI, 105 2B, 423 H, 9.4 WAR, 1x All-Star
Belliard will be a solid addition to my infield. He has experience at second base, third base, and first base in his career, but likely wouldn't be great when plugged in at short. Due to the positional flexibility of my infield, on the rare days when Vizquel needs a day off, I could easily slide over Jose Ramirez there and have Belliard start at second.
Belliard had two really solid seasons for the Indians, and despite having a better WAR of 4.5 in 2005, I'm going to select his 2004 all-star campaign as his best. That season, Belliard slashed .282/.348/.426/.774 with 12 HR, 48 2B, 169 H, and 3.4 WAR along with the only all-star appearance of his career.
With my starting infield being Keltner at third, Vizquel at short, Ramirez at second, and Thornton/Francona at first, Belliard can back up three of those spots and cover Ramirez at second when Vizquel needs a day off.
Dailey is up, so I'm going to need a second to find guys for his picks and then I'll make my last selection.
